“Is Spiderman’s web really strong enough to support him as he swings from building to building? Why did Superman’s home planet of Krypton explode? How much would the Flash need to eat in order to run around the globe in 80 seconds? The man to ask is University of Minnesota physics professor Jim Kakalios. Kakalios, who has taught physics at the school since 1988, is entering his second semester teaching an elective course for freshmen called Science in Comic Books. Or, as he calls it in his syllabus, ‘Everything I Know of Science I Learned From Reading Comic Books.’”

“This is a class for starters in [anime] drawing. Don’t take my word as a word of pro, because I’m not. I’ve had much experience in drawing Japanese comic book style, and I want to share it with those who are interested in it.”

We want to create a site that leverages technology to do what we demand that it does — bring us closer to things we crave.”

“As the new millennium begins the ‘visual’ has assumed even greater pre-eminence as witnessed in our current pre-occupation with diagrams, maps, visual effects, and simulations in advertising… Our vocabulary is increasingly being extended with words associated with visual worlds, both actual and virtual.
